Good and Evil On Every Side

On every news channel and every newspaper, there are headlines that are stating the violent acts that are happening over in the Middle East. I would just like to say before I dive right into this post, is that my heart goes out to all of the family members and to all of those who lost their lives, I am sending you love and prayers to all of you.

Now, let’s dive right in shall we?
Recently, President Obama has been getting a lot of heat on his recent speech about the similarities of Christians and Muslims when it comes to violent acts. Now, I am not defending him nor am I opposing his speech. In fact, I am going to just say this, he isn’t wrong.

Both Christians and Muslims have both made horrible crimes and violent acts. Now, I know for a fact that I am going to get a lot of heat for even saying that, but oh well, you are going to take it like a grown up and get over it. I’m going to be honest and not sugar coat it. Let’s take a look shall we. Jim Jones, Ku Klux Klan, Westboro Baptist Church, just a few names who are connected to the Christian religion. All of them committed horrible crimes against others and not only that, they all used the Christian religion to their benefit and said that God wanted it to happen. Now, let me say these names and events, Taliban, 9/11, the attack on Malala. The Islamic extremists in the Middle East are the cause for all of these events. Yet, these are always on the news and get more air time than anyone else. Why? I’ve seen plenty of other religious extremists who have committed violent acts, yet they don’t get as much attention from the media.

As you can see, both religions have horrible extremists and Obama was correct. You can say whatever you want. You can call me every name in the book and I will not care. “Why?” You ask. The reason why, is due to the fact that I know that I am right and not naive to my surroundings. Plus, I know for a fact that NOT EVERYONE CONNECTED TO EACH RELIGION IS HORRIBLE AND WANTS TO KILL YOU. You seriously need to realize this. I have plenty of friends who are Islamic and Christian, they get a long perfectly fine.
If Mother Theresa, Gandhi, or Rosa Parks was alive they would have a heart attack and die again if they saw how everyone is acting.
I’m not a judgemental person, nor am I a racist. In fact, I love everyone in the world. Poor or rich, black or Indian, gay or straight, male or female, Hindu or Islamic, I love you all. I’m here to help everyone, to love everyone, to bring peace into this world and create a utopian society. I don’t need this insane violent mess happening in the world, and you shouldn’t want it either. So, here’s my proposal, get over yourself and start becoming friends with everyone and stop being prejudice, racist, and sexist.

I know, I know. You are probably boiling mad just by reading my post. Not only that, you are probably thinking about sending me death threats and hate mail. And to my family members who dislike the fact that I am evening saying this, and you might end up wanting to disown me, you will have to stop being so close minded, get over yourself and get off your high horse.
I’m right on this.
If you can’t see what’s really going on in this world then we can’t move on to a better place on this planet. Whenever I have kids, I am going to raise them right. I am going to show them to love everyone in the world and create a peaceful world. My kids will never act like everyone else on this planet.

I would like to say that it’s time for everyone to stop being so ignorant and move past this petty insane situation. Don’t you think it’s about time?

To end this post, I would just like to say that my thoughts and prayers are or to Pastor Saeed over in the Middle East. I hope you make it out alive.
